A vehicle with performance capability like this won't come cheap. The standard version will cost you a cool $65,000! Being purveyors of off the road tires, you know we were very interested in the unique OTR tires this ATV wears. According to the Sherp website, the tires are patented, tubeless ultra-low pressure 1600 x 600 x 25 tires with a patented inflation system. We'll let you know if we ever get any in stock! ;)

The Sherp ATV is powered by a 4 cylinder Kubota V1505-t diesel engine with a maximum power output of about 44.3 horsepower. The power is transfered to the wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. You maneuver the Sherp with a skid steer system which should make driving in the snow or mud a ton of fun. The Sherp ATV has a top speed of approximately 45 km/h (about 28 mph).
